Labor Day is just around the corner. For most of us in the Northern Hemisphere, that’ll be the official close of summer. With that comes awesome last chance summer deals to get you out on the open road for a little adventure before the leaves start to turn.

According to the number crunchers over at travel app Hopper, now’s the time to buy a plane ticket if you’re looking to escape for one last three-day summer weekend this Labor Day.
